Steve - I would not be surprised that you'd be able to bump these even one or two tenths above your new estimated levels.
A 38 Spl load for a model 52 I've seen that people even had to bump that up to 2.9g just for satisfactory functioning so IMO - 2.9 in a 357 case should be no big deal at all. I'd say the same for your WW231 loads.
